Sometimes I forget how enjoyable a short tour can be. Thank you for reminding me. Do you have an up close photo of Serenity, loaded? I'm glad she's working out well for you.

It seems that "white crab spider", "goldenrod crab spider", and "white flower spider" may all be names for the same critter. If not, then as you say the species seem to be very closely related.

Good tour! Thanks for posting!

I was pleasantly surprised that the camera's autofocus actually did the job here.

This was a really well-done web, and in a great condition. I wonder how long it's been up.

On further investigation... maybe a goldenrod crab... Even the "experts" seem slightly unsure!

Noticed I had MN in the search instead of PA, but still the same ultimate results... they all look about alike!

Crab spider is good enough!

Subtle differences in species differentiation are rather daunting, even for the experienced... That plus the fact that their coloration is incredibly variable.

Nice! My orb weaver spiderweb shots are almost always out of focus.

"Flush" with possible intended meanings?

I would’ve walked that last hill too!

True! I was on the new pavement for a while, and as I got closer and closer to the source I could feel the surface trying to grab the tires.

And you're right.

If you don't stick to the left lane, the right lane will stick to YOU--in a most unpleasant way.

Yup, I feel the same way about Minnesota and Iowa.

You deserve a vacation after dealing with TV subscriptions! TV, phone, insurance - all of that is headache inducing for me.

The overnight lows in Colorado are now in the 30's in some mountain towns. Winter is on the way!
